How do you know the Sager wouldn't be better? Do you realise I was saying the Sager hammered them both? Not the other way around -- it won't have better battery life, that's for sure, but, nonetheless, it has the same specs, in fact, a few that are a little better.I skimmed through those comparisons,
but your comparing a $900 sager with a $1800 macbook and calling it a hammer? it's obviously not going to be better if it's half the price
What netbook?same thing for the netbook, your comparing to something that's double the price - how is something that is consistently double the price, yet still being compared in terms of specs, not overpriced? it's like comparing a Honda to a Porsche
Well, the 17" Envy had a 5850 or 5870M, a quad core i7 860QM, etc., the 15" matched the specs better.and even if the 17" envy isn't similar to the 17" mac-book, comparing a 15" to a 17" isn't the same, at-least give the envy an extra battery or 2, since that is about the difference between a 15" and a 17"
Yeah, I know. You can pick up Macs for several hundred off in the refurbished section, but that's about it.also, windows computers go on sale fairly frequently and have decent sales, macs almost never do, and never any major sales - for example those HP envy's had a 300 off code this summer
Yep, building a computer will be cheaper than any Mac or PC.and finally, non-mac computers can be built at home, bringing the minimum price for XXX hardware even lower
That is true, but it isn't quite the same. Apple has a $1999 iMac with an i5 @ 2.8GHz, a 5750 1GB, and it includes a $1,000 screen... If they dropped the Mac Pro even down to $1499, or even $1999, everyone would just buy the Mac Pro instead of the iMac -- Apple wants to separate the two lines.so.. what about other computer manufacturers? they manage to do without the extra $1000 baby fat and have the exact same challenges as apple does
Look at HPs all-in-one's, they're all lower than the price of the Dell workstation ($1500) -- however, they wouldn't be if they included a 27" 2560x1440 screen, they'd be more expensive -- but they don't, so they can fit under the price range just fine.
